Brain Training Report – Jan – Stage 2, Session 8

Stage: 2

Session number: 8

Average n-back: 4

I finally am able to have success remembering 4 items. I have cognitive difficulties relating to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. When I read the success of the other posters I feel really behind…..any input would be very much appreciated. I also noticed that my piano playing is improving without practice! This phenomenon has been remarked on quite a bit on the posting board. Any reason for this?

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome will have affected your working memory, which will make the training more challenging. This is not a permanent issue, which is good. When the fatigue passes your working memory should bounce back.

The training will also help by increasing your focus and working memory.

The ability to play a musical instrument is highly related to working memory. Musicians tend to have higher working memory capacity than non-musicians. Likewise, increasing working memory capacity through the MindSparke training does increase playing ability. A great benefit for those of us who are musicians.
